It was, like, crazy notes. Like...
Wow. Tell everybody your name and where you're from.
My name is Kelsie Watts. I'm 29 years old.
I live in Nashville, Tennessee, but I'm from Lubbock, Texas.
Oh, my gosh! You just sang the crap out of my song.
I'm so glad you liked it. I was like, "Oh, man."
I feel like you hardly ever push when someone sings your songs.
I don't. I'm very hard on it.
I'm like that, too. I'm very tough.
But I was like, "You cannot come out here
and sing my song like that and not have me turn around."
Your range is incredible.
Whistle notes, you don't have to do it all the time,
but the fact that you're just that powerful
and bold enough to do it in a moment that really matters...
And I know what that's like,
'cause I did it on a singing competition,
and I was terrified 'cause I was like,
"If I mess this moment up, it's over... Right.
...and I will be the laughingstock of America."
I mean, if you don't pick me, I'm gonna be so sad.
The guilt trip.
But I'm just saying, there's nothing cooler
than somebody to like your song, first of all,
enough that they cover it,
but secondly, to make it even better than it was,
which is what you just did.
Like, America, you will not see me
doing that version on tour -- ever.
We could totally do it together.
Cool. You can come out... I'm so down.
...and you can sing it.
That was -- It was beautiful.
And you would look so cute in this. Like, right?
Oh, that jacket?
You like bedazzling? I'm just saying.
You are screwed on this one. I know. I know.
Anyways, you know what's so amazing about this show,
is people like you
that come out here and are so talented,
and you get to have this special moment,
sing a Kelly Clarkson song.
We get to all just be in awe of you.
You are incredible. I can't wait to see what you do next.
Thank you.
John: It's time to make a decision, Kelsie.
Who do you pick as your coach?

I pick Kelly as my coach.

Thank you so much. It was such a --
[ Laughter ] What?
We're watching your gif over there.
Oh, I'm crazy, yeah. [ Laughter ]
Yeah! You're a Texan.
You get it. I get it. I get it.
